Maliq Brown, smh. 14 points on 4 shots. 4 assists. Guy we initially loved for his defense and rebounding has become a heck of a valuable offensive player. Reminds me of a junior Cj Fair on offense a little bit, maybe not with skill set but that they are/were the 3rd option on offense and are able to be very efficient, his role is perfect now, I’m not sure how much more you can ask from him. Like you said different skill sets, but in terms of being super efficient and effective players who play their role to the fullest? Yeah, I can see it. Both certainly on my list of favorite Orangemen. I hope Maliq ends up being a part of many great wins and accomplishments like Fair did.

Wow, didn't see that coming at all. Mintz didn't turn the ball over, and was actually...efficient?
62.5% FG and 47.1% 3-pt FG. Not going to lose many games shooting that way.

Looking forward to a couple more seasons of Brown/Bacot matchups.

I predicted it. I’m all for constructive criticism, but that clown FrancoPizza complaining we won playing zone is hilariously on brand. I saw a post towards the end of the game where he was complaining that the students were about to storm the court. Something like “students are going to storm? Give me a break.” I cannot even fathom being that much of a miserable idiot that when the team is on the verge of their biggest win in years, you’re bitching about the student fans being too fired up. Classic miserable CNY goofball. We haven’t beaten a top ten team since 2019! Two thousand nineteen!! What great basketball moments have these kids witnessed besides the coaches sons forging lifetime friendships with their AAU buddies? Or watching Joe Girard and the wheelbarrow he uses to carry his gut in try to stay in front of future lottery picks? The guys on the team obviously loved it. Why do people have to find things to be mad at?

Not sure if it’s for his play or the post game interview where he shit on the students for booing Girard. If it’s the latter, I’m fine with it. What is he doing saying that in the first place?

I wound up watching the game on demand. It was already spoiled for me. Last time that happened was the last time we beat North Carolina.

Why do people have to find things to be mad at? Right! And the one decent season we had, back when these seniors were freshmen….there were no fans allowed in the Dome. Freshman year - no fans. Soph. Year - first losing record in 50 years. Junior year - 17-15, zero big wins, second straight loss to Colgate. Yeah, I hope every senior that actually cares about SU b-ball after all that, stormed the hell out of that court and had a blast.

I will argue in favor of storming courts always. Anyone who argues against it are just grumps imo

I gotta say I used to be really against the Elam Ending, but I am warming to it.
There is absolutely nothing good about watching, coaching, or playing basketball in this situation:
I think they should explore doing something. Maybe set a limit on the number of fouls you can commit in a given amount of time, and if you’re over that limit the opponent gets 2 shots and the ball?
I mean, foul a couple times and hope they miss….fine. Not 10 times. That’s absurd and wrecks the game.
